Week of: 9/4/13-9/13/13 Over the past week and a half, Algebra 1 has done a number of things to prepare for the challenges that will come throughout the year. We have discussed the positive assets that EVERY student brings to our math class. Through our first quote of the week, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid," we have learned that every person brings something positive to our group and it is our responsibility to learn what that positive role is and how we can each learn from each other.
The following is a list of (and links to) the assignments/forms that have been collected.
Parent signatures on: Parent Inventory Classroom Learning Community Contract Rights and Responsibility (a purple form attached to a green packet; additional forms can be found in the office) Field trip Permission and $12-Due by 9/18/13 (Students may request another if lost)

Week of: 9/4/13-9/13/13
Over the past week and a half, Algebra 1 has done a number of things to prepare for the challenges that will come throughout the year. We have discussed the positive assets that EVERY student brings to our math class. Through our first quote of the week, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid," we have learned that every person brings something positive to our group and it is our responsibility to learn what that positive role is and how we can each learn from each other.
The following is a list of (and links to) the assignments/forms that have been collected.
Parent signatures on:
Parent Inventory
Classroom Learning Community Contract
Rights and Responsibility (a purple form attached to a green packet; additional forms can be found in the office)
Field trip Permission and $12-Due by 9/18/13 (Students may request another if lost)
Student assignments:

Week 1 Reflection
Learning Defense (A learning defense must be completed to turn in all late assignments (unless absent) and to makeup any points on assignments. See resources to help with ideas on how to make up the assignment. Parent signature is required!)
